Stocks of railroad companies made a demonstration of persistent strength in the stock market yesterday. Whatever unfavorable factors developed during the day were Ignored or their Influence resisted and the resulting declines overcome. The bear element was so far Impressed by the show of strength that they retired from the field before the day was over and did not repeat Tuesday's maneuver of a fierce raid In the Industrial quarter, which on that occasion upset tho market In the last fifteen minutes of the trading. Tho market showed itself much less sensitive than for some time to any depressing Influence, and the close was distinctly firm at about the best level of the day, earlier looses in industrial stocks having been almost entirely overcome. The stocks of Western railroads were easily the leaders In the movement, and the buying was attributed to "Western account, as for several days past. This Western buying is believed In Wall street to be covering an outstanding short Interest, prompted by the good crop weather and the favorable conditions In the winter wheat belt. The leadership of the movement was shifted from Burlington to Atchison preferred, which scored a clean net gain of two points. The approach of the dividend meeting and the circulation of rumors that the stock would be placed on a 5 per cent, basis were used with effect. Burlington continued aggressively strong and scored an advance of 1 in spite of denials of the recent rumors that a refunding plan was about to be announced. Northern Pacific gained as much, and the strength of these stocks affected the other I'aclrics and ultimately the trunk lines, which rose 1 to 14 points. The steel stocks all rebounded sharply on covering by shorts and official denials of assertions that general shut-downs were imminent on account of the prospective demands for increase of waes. Tho early weakness of Sugar, People's Gas, the tobacco stocks and other industrials was met by denials of the various rumors which accompanied the "decline. Recoveries ensued on the demand from the bears caught short. Besides this weakness In the industrial list the market had to contend with the announcement of gold engagements for export to-day fully $1,000,000 in excess of the preliminary estimate. To-day's shipments foot up fully J3.1W.000 for France. Tha fact that so large a shipment should be made in face of the considerable decline in discount rates in Europe aroused some uneasiness lest the apparent ease of money abroad was fictitious and unstable. But the continued ease of money here apparently relieved this apprehension. Call loan rates fell to 1V4. and the gains by the banks from the subtreasury . and on the interior movement of currency evidently will offset the gold exports. Although the advance in stocks was generally wiped out when the gld engagements were announced, the upward movement was resumed upon further consideration of the circumstances. It is the conviction on Wall street that only a small amount of gold can be shipped to London on Sat urday's steamer under present 'conditions. Yesterday's advance In prices was without the sustaining influence of the recent Btrength In Missouri Pacific, that stock dropping back at one time two points on the request to stockholders to authorize additional capital to the extent of $15,000, yD. The stock partly recovered on the ex planation that the new issue must be reicrvcd Tor retirement of debenture bonds. The bond market was dull and only part ly shared In the strength of stocks.

New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Speaking of tho cocaine habit," said a local railroad official, "it is surprising how general the use of the drug has become among the traveling- public, and also among trainmen. I will venture the assertion that three-fourths of the engineers who pull out of New Orleans at present have small vials of the stuff in solution somewhere about their clothes. They car ry it to facilitate the removal of cinders from their eyes. As every railroad man knows, cinders are one of the banes of an engineer's life. They are liable at any moment to get into his eye while he has his head out the cab window, and hardly anything could oe named that Is more painful or disabling. A chunk of carbon half the size of a pin head will put a man out of action in thirty seconds, while the inflamed tissues Immediately contract and frequently render the fragment very dif flcut to find. All that is remedied by co caine. A few drops destroy all pain, cause a relaxation of the lid, and, in nine cases out of ten. the cinder is located and removed without trouble. It's a common thing nowadays to see an engineer lie down on his bench while the fireman uncorks the cocaine bottle and proceeds to play surgeon on a damaged optic. I can't say whether the habit is ever contracted from this practice, but it is undoubtedly dangerous. Experienced travelers very frequently carry cocaine for the same purpose, and in examining a handsome Eng-itsn-mace toilet bag the other day. I no ticed a special pouch for the bottle among the combs and brushes. I don't know of any other drug that is used so freely and reciuessiy ry tne laity.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow: There Is little moro activity to be noted in the wool market without, however, any improvement In prices as yet. It is felt that prices have at least sagged down to a working basis; that is. they have reached a level at which consumers are willing to operate. One consumer is quoted as saying, in fact, tnat prices which manufacturers are now paving for wool will enable them to make light weights which can be sold at nearly last year's prices. From this time on, there fore, the trade are inennea to iook ior more business in the wool market. The deadlock between the growers and the buyer continues in the Territories, and the bids made at the public sales in Casper and Rawlins were generally re jected. In some instances, however, growers are more inclined to make concessions, une sales of the week in Boston amounted to 2.111.000 lbs domestic and 520.000 lbs foreign, making a tota. of 2.631.000 lbs. against a total of 1,652.000 lbs for the previous week, and a total of 3,3la,500 lbs for the corresponding week last year. The sales since Jan. 1 amount to 57.3 w.X) ids, against 83,603,S0O lbs for the corresponding time last year. LONDON. May 16. Offerings at the wool auc tion sales to-day numbered 9.640 bales.

LIVE STOCK QUOTATIONS

CATTLE I. GOOD SUPPLY AND SELLING AT STEADY PRICES. Hogs Active at Steady to Higher Figures Sheep Steady Condition of Markets Elsewhere. UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, May 16. Cattle Receipts, 300; shipments, 100. The receipts of cattle were unusually large for this time In the week, and larger than at any time since the last of March. A large proportion of the arrivals were steers. Including quite a number of good export grades, but no strictly fancy kinds. The market opened with salesmen asking steady prices, and later, with good competition between buyers, especially local killers, the offerings were changing hands promptly, and a good clearance was made at steady prices. In the female cattle line the market was active, and steady to strong prices prevailed. The calf market was again lower, the top being $6.75 and most sales below $8.25. Steers sold as high as $3.55, heifers $5, cows $1.65 and bulls $4.25.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, May 16. As a natural result of the exceedingly liberal receipts of horses last week, the marketing this week has been of small volume. Shippers probably anticipated a limited ' demand, and evidently there has been no effort to get stock on the market. The different stables did not receive enough to warrant them holding a separate sale, and the supplies were all thrown together and disposed of in one sale. Around 100 head were offered, consisting principally of chunks and heavy horses. The attendance of buyers was small, but large enough to exhaust the supply, and, with the quality generally satisfactory, the offerings were disposed of at quotably steady prices. There was rather a quiet feeling In the market from the beginning to the close, and the bidding was not as free as usual, but a good clearance was made, and the last sales did not show any quotable change in prices compared with the opening. Draft horses sold as high as $1G0. and other sales were reported as low as $G5. Elsewhere. CHICAGO. May 11 Cattle Receipts. 13.000.
